YourcustomerYou

You’re pretty good at managing your consumer products supply chain – but you’re not a miracle worker.

Every day, you’re being asked to:

• Ship orders out fast with a 100% fill rate, but reduce on-hand inventory

• Continuously improve service and lead times, while reducing distribu-

tion costs

• Minimize overhead and other fixed costs, but support demand swings

on short notice

With that to-do list, you could use a resource like DSV.

At DSV, we provide warehousing and logistics services across North

America to help brand owners and retailers get products to market quickly,

accurately and efficiently.

Our specialty is helping you grow by eliminating logistics barriers to strategy execution.

Scale Distribution Operations to Support Company Growth

“Let’s slow down company growth until we have a clear logistics support plan.”

Ever heard that from the corner office? Didn’t think so. Fact is, retailers and

consumer brands feed off growth. Your job is to support it.

We can help.

Throughout the world, DSV serves some of the most iconic, global brands.

For many of these companies, their journey started small. They had a vision

and focused on growth, while DSV provided the logistics know-how and

infrastructure.

With distribution campuses in most major North American markets, our

network can scale to support any sales trajectory. Think of it as your

network. Your regional “on-switch” for logistics execution, with easy

expansion globally, if and when needed.

Your business strategy should never be constrained by the limits of your

logistics capabilities.

So go ahead, lead the charge on that new product launch.We’ll get you there.

Manage Uncertainty

“In logistics, the more you know, the better you can plan and perform.”

But some things you just can’t predict. Like the market’s response to your

new product, or how your new website will impact online sales.

To manage uncertainty, you need a flexible infrastructure. DSV’s North

American network of multi-client warehouses helps manage volume peaks

and valleys so logistics costs more closely match your revenue.

You also need a partner that can respond quickly when change happens

– a global company that acts local. Speed and agility are in DSV’s DNA.

Our people are:

• Flexible. We adapt our processes to your requirements,

not the other way around.

• Easy. To work with. To be around. We love what we do;

we hope it shows.

• Accountable. If there’s a problem, we fix it now

and ask questions later.

For you, this translates to a faster, more agile supply chain that helps you

respond to any unexpected challenge.

Retail supply chains involve a complex sequence of moves, from sourcing to distribution to returns.

As you add more logistics providers and touch points, you add time, cost,

and a greater potential for damage and errors.

DSV gives you the power to integrate services with a single partner.

The result: a faster, seamless operation that’s easier to manage and grow.

Support eCommerce Sales Growth

“With the rapid rise of eCommerce, supply chains have become far more complex.”

Yesterday, you managed a limited SKU base with scheduled replenishment

of pallets to known retail customers in truckload and LTL shipments.

Today, you manage an expanding SKU base with irregular shipments of

individual units to household addresses in parcel shipments.

Tomorrow, you’ll manage omni-channel distribution, where consumers buy

and receive products at THEIR convenience, including in-store pickup of

online orders.

At DSV, we’re channel-agnostic, often managing retail and online orders

from a co-mingled inventory pool. Our eCommerce fulfillment capabilities

include:

• High-velocity pick systems that minimize labor

• Easy integration to ERP and eCommerce platforms

• Value-add services – kitting, wrapping, inserts, you name it– to

customize the brand experience

• Parcel management capabilities and rates that reduce shipping costs

The online sales revolution is accelerating – companies must adapt their

logistics models to efficiently service all sales channels. DSV is uniquely

qualified to help.

So go ahead, launch that new online store.We’ll get you there.

Any logistics project involves risk – whether you’re changing providers or moving to a 3PL model.

One misstep can disrupt your business and sink the reputation of those

driving the strategy.

DSV is structured to manage risk in a way that few 3PLs can.

DSV’s quality processes are systemic and repeatable. Advanced Quality

Planning, part of our overall quality program, is a structured approach

performed before any work begins. During this multi-day session,

DSV quality engineers work with your team to identify goals, risks, and

operational requirements, and then fine-tune processes accordingly.

What emerges from this rigorous and exacting process is absolute

clarity and alignment on what needs to happen – and the action plan to get

there.

working style of a much smaller company.

That’s DSV in a nutshell. Unlimited scale, without the red tape.
